The Doctor of Physical Therapy program is seeking participants between the ages of 60 and 90 for a study that aims to assess the use of telehealth as a way to screen for frailty in community-dwelling older adults. If you know of anyone in this age range who might be interested, let us know!
In order to qualify for this study, participants must:
- Be 60-90 years old, live independently or in an assisted living facility
- Able to walk without the help of another person
- Pass a mental status exam.
Participants must not:
- Have been diagnosed with a neurological condition
- Have a current illness or health issues that would make performing physical activities unsafe
Participants will be asked to attend one test session lasting about one hour during which they will be asked to perform a physical performance test both in a lab and telehealth setting. Cameras will record the movement of markers that will be placed on your body, and force plates in the ground will record your foot contact during the sit-to-stand activity in the lab. Performance during the telehealth activities will be recorded.
If you are interested in learning more about the study, or would like to participate, please contact Lyndsey Stutzenberger at lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu or at 503-554-2463.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Please note that Sunday, March 28, is the last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for the class.
Withdrawing from a class:
This means that if you withdraw from a class you will receive a “W” on your transcript. If you don’t withdraw now and ultimately don’t pass a course, your GPA will be affected in a negative way.
If your professor has not provided you with a mid-term grade, please contact them immediately to find out what your status is in that course.
Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.
CAP Coaches:
Students with a “D” or “F” on their midterms should make an appointment with their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the ramifications of withdrawing from a class.
Students withdrawing from a class should contact their CAP coach as well to discuss their class schedule for future semesters.
Click here to contact your CAP Coach.

Recently some non-students were attempting to interview students with a microphone taped to a sex toy. These individuals were caught. We do not condone such behavior and always investigate to the best of our abilities to prevent or stop inappropriate activities on campus.
While there are many things in the world that are concerning, we want you to know you do not have to go through it alone. When harassment, bullying, bias-crimes, assault, sexual violence, theft of property, or other issues occur, we want you to know that Campus Public Safety is only a phone call away.
In an ongoing effort to ensure our community is a safe place to both learn and work together, your Campus Public Safety Department wants to remind you of some resources, such as Fox’s anti-harassment policy and personal safety guidelines, should you ever feel unsafe on our campus.
As always, we have officers on duty 24/7. Call immediately at 503-554-2090 should you ever feel unsafe or witness a crime.
Questions? Contact Elrike Shaw at eshaw@georgefox.edu.Â
